The whole IRC meeting concept is rather new to me, so I'm not sure how
organized/micromanaged it needs to be.

It doesn't need to be micro-managed, but it does help to have a moderator to
kick off the meeting, say when to wrap things up, keep track of questions,
and try to make sure people don't get drowned in a wall of text (though some
side conversation is inevitable and okay). If you want to talk about this
further Sarah, myself or Philippe have both run WMF office hours in
#wikimedia-office and would be happy to give you more of a primer.
